On reading this, I just realized that “occupy Wall Street” was the Leftists model and training ground for the mayhem in Seattle, Portland and other cities right now. The core theme is the same - Marxist anti-capitalism. The only difference now is the BLM thread is being used by the Marxists to tie the police and “racism” to capitalism via so-called “white privilege”.
Check your calendars D.C., BLM arrives 28 August and Occupy arrives 17 September for a 50-day ‘siege’!
Racism has always been a problem, but the Left has long realized it could be used as a Trojan horse to replace limited government with unlimited power. In particular, the Demonrats use it to shame a significant proportion of whites into supporting them and use it to constantly whip up racial animosity to keep blacks voting for Dems. That’s the only way the Dems can get a majority in any national election.
Obama is the community organizer. This is his baby
